Hi

Is this because it just didnt pick up any GPS?

I've seen people talk about setting it as indoor/outdoor. I cant see anyway to do this on a 30.

thanks

    Always Wait for GPS to Activate - 1 to 5 Mins

    Synch your Device using Garmin Express to Load GPS Data to the Watc.

    Going for a Run

    The first fitness activity you record on your device should be an outdoor run. You may need to charge the device (Charging the Device) before starting the activity.
    1. Select .
    2. Go outside, and wait while the device locates satellites.
    3. Select to start the timer.
    4. Go for a run.

      The timer appears.

      Other Fitness Activities

      In addition to running, your device can record walking, cycling, and cardio activities. The cardio category includes all of your other activities that are not running, walking, or cycling. When you start the timer, the device uses Move IQ technology to automatically detect the activity type. If you are training indoors, you can start the activity timer without waiting for GPS. The device detects if you are training inside or outside.

      You can view the activity details on your device. You can view activity details and edit the activity type on your Garmin ConnectTm account.
